A Few More Wallpapers.

Please find below a partial extraction of the second post in the WOTD thread on the old forum.
Currently there are 113 in the collection. (The 2018 mp4 video only features the original 107)
A zip file download of them all would now be approx 34MB.
Posted: Mon 20 Aug 2018, 11:12 Post subject: Wallpaper of the Day Pet (wotd) - Aug 2018
Subject description: A utility to automatically display a different wallpaper of your choice for each day of the week.
Additional Wallpapers:

https://photos.app.goo.gl/FGBQ2uc4lodCAIuk1

The above link is to my own Google Photos album which currently contains 107 wallpapers
including the 7 used in the wotd pet.
Please help yourselves to any you consider to be of use. On the "More options" menu (3 vertically aligned dots) there is a slideshow
option together with an option to "Download All" which if selected will roll them all into a 31MB zip file.
The slideshow may be cast to a Chromecast dongle if you are using Opera, Chrome or Chromium.

To download individual papers left click on the paper to enlarge it and then use the new options menu or press Shift + D
to just download that particular paper.

If you would prefer an mp4 of the wallpaper slideshow with audio, that may be viewed here:

(That also has the option to download - 118.7 MB)

This, WOTD thread, is another forward thinking utility that exceeds the normal expectation of a typical Linux desktop.

This utility offers to "cast" photos to a casting device on our LAN as well as the desktop function it gives.

WOW! GRRRRRR88888! :thumbup2:

Apologies in advance

The return of superpup!

Was digging around my old laptop (fixing the wikki is the task at hand :roll: ) and come across this old wallpaper I was working on..

I forget how I made it, probably a combination of hand editing and mkwallpaper. The full files (jpeg and svg) are in the attached gzipped tape archive plus some of the building blocks.

Up for some fun @CatDude ? :lol:

I use these in XFCE (plus one 64-only):

The last is standard in 32-bit +D.

In rockedge's set I like the tall lights and misty greenery.

I took this snapshot whilst watching a tv series with VLC. This VLC function works well and I can recommend. This video was only standard definition 480P so quality not so great, a HQ video snapshot would look much better.
